Re: Why no ISU/KU line yet?

It isn't online yet. I typically check Danny Sheridan's site and it's got nothing. I figured maybe KU had some major injury, but then they've been getting beaten so badly I can't figure why it would matter.

They might be down to their third string QB. I don't think they know for sure yet.

Re: Why no ISU/KU line yet?

The reason is the uncertainty about the Kansas QB situation (and possibly additional roster "unknowns").

The spread that Marty mentions (and Chris reports) is a number released by the Las Vegas Sports Consultants (LVSC). This information is not available free to the public, but you can subscribe to their service to receive their lines, which I assume Marty does.

LVSC is an independent company that does the research that most casinos use to set their initial lines. Any movement in the lines after that is based on the money that comes in on either side. A casino's goal is even money on each side, thus, guaranteeing profit on the "juice".

What has likely happened is that the LVSC has released their initial line, but the casinos are waiting for more info on the Kansas QB situation before opening the game up for betting. It's not a game they are likely to see a high volume on, anyway, so waiting a couple days is worth it to get it right.
